Medieval architectural fragment / worked stone. The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 records 'Site of Chapel & Burial Ground' with a marker locating the site at SC2000270304. The site lies within a field amalgamated from several smaller plots, two of which (OS Plots 0494 and 0497) were formerly known as Magher y Cabbal (field of the chapel). Despite the OS' description, substantial remains were still apparent when the Archaeological Commissioners visited in 1878, recording a mass of stone and identifying a carved stone cross (Manx Cross 66) and a hollowed stone. The latter was thought perhaps to have been a socket stone from the keeill doorway. By 1886, when Canon Savage visited the site and interviewed the owner, the chapel had been largely cleared. Savage noted the stone at the time but it is now lost.

Despite the OS' description, substantial remains were still apparent when the Archaeological Commissioners visited in 1878, recording a mass of stone and identifying a carved stone cross (Manx Cross 66). By the mid 1880s, when Canon Savage interviewed the owner, the chapel had been largely cleared, though the site is now uncultivated and gorse-covered. The cross discovered loose by the Archaeological Commissioners in 1878 remained on site until 1914, when it was given to the Manx Museum following defacement which consisted of the addition of a fifth cross incised below the others. The original design comprises a cross in low relief, accentuated by square depressions carved between each arm. The cross is further emphasised by small crosslets incised on each arm: it was the modern addition of a fifth cross which led to the stone being placed in the care of the Manx Museum.

A corn mill of late medieval and post medieval date is recorded in this area. The 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map shows two mill ponds and leats feeding a probable mill at Ballalona Farm. This record relates to the dam of one of the two ponds.

A hedge bank has been built over the site of a grass covered chapel and burial ground. On the northwest side of the bank is a vague mound which appears to be natural. No trace of the chapel or of a feature identifiable as a burial ground enclosure remains. Savage, writing in 1885, states that the keeill was 'standing within living memory' (i.e. early 19th century), and was probably built on an old tumulus. It was surrounded by a burial-ground fence. Graves have been found all round and evidence of them was still to be seen. He also found on the site what he described as a 'cup-marked stone'. There are now no identifiable remains of the keeill or burial enclosure, but the immediate portion of the field remains rough and uncultivated. A few slate slabs up to 3 foot long, 'lying about on adjacent hedge-tops' may have been uprooted from lintel graves.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballagyr by CH Cowley, who describes the location as 'First Field Lane Right'. The location has not been positively identified. No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the farmstead for indicative purposes only. The antiquary Charles Harry Cowley was an avid collector of worked flint and coarse stone artefacts revealed by agricultural activity, mainly on farms located around Peel, and occasionally from further afield. He was active from 1900 until 1943. His entire collection of artefacts, together with a daybook cataloguing his discoveries, was later donated to Manx National Heritage.
